New build but same games crashing as old build?

If you can't borrow one from your mates and you want to get exactly the same performance for as little money then I'd probably get a second hand GTX970 from the Bay, the last 10 or so twin fan ones that I've just checked sold for ~£100 some slightly less a few slightly more. If you want to go new then the 1060 is a bit faster than your 780Ti - opt for the 6GB version

Thanks for the advice. I have managed to borrow a gtx 970 from a mate so will test that and see what happens. Ill let you guys know the outcome!

What windows build are you running ? Long as it's 1503 Nd over as I believe that's windows anniversary, any sooner and windows wiashes as ryzen wasn't out before previous builds .

Also, is ram at default 2400hz ? Give that a try, yes performance will be effected but just trouble shooting everything else as GPU as been mentioned

Build is 17763 so should be fine, and the RAM is default 3000hz, are you suggesting I reduce the speed?
 
Is your 780ti overclocked? If so I have a suggestion. I had something similar to what you are seeing with my dual 780's in SLI. When I first installed them I overclocked them, ran them through unigine multiple times and no issues. I gamed for quite some time with zero problems but mostly just the same two games, then one day I decided to try a new game which was Paladins. When playing that, my game just kept freezing randomly, like the screen would totally freeze even though everyone else in the match would play as normal so I would get killed just standing there. As well as the freezes It would occasionally crash. I can't remember if I tried a different game as it was a long time ago now but long story short i literally checked everything I could think of, tested the RAM, monitored all temps, installed the game on two different HDDs, reinstalled drivers, downgraded from Win 10 back to Win 8.1...did a fresh Windows install, literally nothing worked. Just as I was going to give up I found some obscure post through google where someone was having similar issues and it turned out his overclock wasn't as stable as he thought, it seemed fine 99% of the time but for whatever reason in certain games he would get crashes. So as a last ditch effort I removed my overclock, reset it back to factory settings and boom. Never had a single issue ever since, I played Paladins for weeks without a single freeze or crash (until i eventually got bored of that game). Give it a try if it is applicable for you.

It hasn't been overclocked but the model I have is factory OC so may be worth seeing if I can reduce to default. Cheers.

An update to everyone, The 970 worked fine and the games that were crashing played no issues so the GPU is definitely at fault. Thanks for your help!

Glad to see you found the issue, and thanks for updating us!
 
Try lowering the default speed of the card and retest maybe the silicon has degraded causing your issue or maybe bump the voltage slightly to see if you can regain stability, the other possibility is a driver issue. I recently put a gtx1060 6gb into my son's build and it performs very well, if you are looking around the £250 mark I would certainly recommend them to anyone, although it may be worth looking at benchmarks of the games you play to see how the comparable AMD card (580?) Performs.
